I guess i missed the falcons releasing turner. i suspect they'll look to the draft for the future and use jackson to keep their hopes alive for the playoffs.

Jackson has 8 consecutive 1000yd seasons there's no denying he's a workhorse. I think he'll be an upgrade from Turner but will get between 800-1000 yards in that offense because it will be so pass heavy.

Elvis on the free agent market because of a supposed fax machine malfunction? Was it a cheeky move by the agent hoping they'd leave him on the roster?

So looks like Jennings is following in Favre's footsteps by playing for the Vikes after a lengthy Packers career. As a Packers fan I hate to see a Packer go to Chicago; 2nd worst is Minny. However, I do wish to see Jennings do well, but let's face it Cassel and Ponder are miles from Rodgers' calibre.

Yea, but because Ponder isn't that great, Jennings can see a ton of targets.

He won't be spreading the ball like crazy like Rodgers.

PROCRASTINATION - Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now

Jennings should see the amount of targets Harvin was getting, he'll post some good numbers I'd assume.

Interesting to see that Farve talked to Jennings a number of times about making the jump to the Vikings

or maybe it was the other way around, in which jennings sought out info from favre since he has some insight in how the organization is run. Its a crap shoot to guess how effective he'll be in Minnesota. At least there he knows he'll be the primary receiving target.

I agree, Jennings in Minnesota is a good thing for both him and the team. I think he can handle the hate coming out of green bay

i don't think he'll face much hate in GB. After all he did help them win an SB.

any good players that go to a rival team automatically become traitors in the eyes of the fans, regardless of how they got there. that just the nature of the beast... fans should appreciate everything that player did when they were with their team..but that's not how it works, unfortunately...

The Texans will probably get 2 good years out of him, then he'll sign a one day contract with the Ravens to retire a Raven. I wonder if its more the desire to do something different before they retire or if its really money driving them to finish there career on a new team.

Urlacher has always kind of been a douche to our fans especially his last few years so Chicagoans will miss him to a point. He was a badass leader on the field but his play has deteriorated and if he goes to either of those teams (gb, min) he will probably make them worse and his legend status in Chicago would also worsen. I think he will follow Lovie if he coaches anywhere. He will see just how good he had it here once he sees what's out there...especially with the fans.

its the money...if he was really dedicated to spending his career there, he would have made it happen.

More than likely they become offended by the team they consider home not treating them the way they feel they should be treated. I'd say 2 years is about right and he should be contending for a title with the Texans during that time

Didn't reed have a neck injury a few years ago? I think it was bad enough, that rumors of retirement were making the rounds.

Sounds like urlachers situation where they were unhappy with what the franchise offered to pay them. In all hindsight reed probably made the better move. The ravens d isnt going to be the same missing so many components even if he did stay.

Ravens lost what 5 or 6 defensive startes? And then handcuffed themselves by giving the obligatory max contract to Flacco? The team will struggle to make the playoffs next year. Flacco will be asked to make a paycut. Tsizzle will eventually decline and be cut in a few years like the Harrison by the Steelers

People that don't follow the Ravens and continue to make these comments don't realize that they have lost players like this in the past. The leadership of Lewis and Reed is the biggest hit... but skill-wise, they'll be just fine. And when these free agent losses happen, so many 'fans' throw their arms up, write the upcoming season off, and say how stupid it is... but they do just fine the next year with their new acquisitions, and those players who left end up having half the season they did while with Baltimore.
And FWIW, Flacco's contract hurts their salary cap very little for the first 3 years... that's not the cause of them loosing these guys.

Being from Chicago, I'm a huge Bear fan so I'm glad we finally picked up a good left tackle from the Saints and finally an athletic tight end in M. Bennett. Another lineman and our offense will look pretty damn good. The d is looking shaky especially with the backers. I think we are gonna have to win shoot outs this year if we wanna do something.
